A question of range.....

[Ed Kolis]

Depends on whether you consider mounted or unmounted, seekers or direct fire, and it also depends on the mod's intent and its propulsion system. For instance, in stock I don't think the Wave Motion Gun even goes out beyond range 8 or 10 or so (unmounted), but weapons are allowed to go up to range 20.

I guess a general idea might be:
1-4: short
5-8: medium
9-20: long

But then, if ships are slow in your mod, you might want to adjust the ranges downward; if they are fast, you might want to adjust them upward.

Other than seekers, do ANY weapons actually go out s far as 20?

What weapons are usually considered as either short, medium, or long range, as a comparison?

[Ed Kolis]

In stock? No, I don't think so...

Short weapons:
ripper beam, early DUC, early APB

Medium weapons:
advanced DUC, midgame APB, early plasma missiles

Long weapons:
WMG, advanced APB, all other seekers

My preferred scheme is more like:
1-3= short range
3-5= medium
5-6= long
Infinite= Missiles
